2 V 2 Temple
Me:(Toss/random) & Publik_Killa (Zerg)
Them: Terran dude & Zerg dude

Disclaimer: I only post from work, thus I have no pics, sorry. ;-(

Well me and a friend joined a random game against two random people. I begin the game deciding to turtle a bit and I tell my partner I will not be able to help for a bit. (Sidenote: This particular ally often expands early w/o sufficient "d" which causes me send him aid.) Anyways the game begins with me "walling off" my natural with cannons (4 I think). I then warp my Nexus and 2 gates. I check Killa and he has his expansion morphed with 8-10 lings for defense.

Killa is now attacked by 12-14 lings and his forces are overpowered and more lings arrive. He tries to get a sunken up at his natural but it is too late. As he losses his expansion I start two zeals. At this point I check his base I find one sunken going up and 1-2 hydra. As soon as my zeals warp, I send them and 4-5 of my MANY probes over to help. His main gets his hard with about 6 marines and 12 or so lings. I then realize he intends on getting lurkers... "please give him some time!" My probes and zeals aid his drones in eliminating the threat and I begin cannoning his choke. Unfortunatly he has lost all his drones.

After his choke is fortified, I begin construction of 4 Starports- People normally go hard lings to mutas. Once the 'ports warp I begin my cors production. With 4 cors 1/2 morphed, I get a msg, "Damn mutas!" Unfortunately by the time I arrive his hatch is dead and he has no money. Well the 4 corsairs take out the mutas with no problem. I then grab another 4 cors and race to the zergs base. Sure enough, I get there to find no anti air and a bunch of lords, "pop..pop...popopopopop!!!" Whew, I just gave myself some time.

At this point my ally begins his help, "Take my natural!", "Transfer probes", Throw some cannons up!" Actually I liked this because I often forget the "simple" things. I then begin with the Protoss leveling squad... CARRIERS!!! Of course I had been upgrading this whole time and bugging the zerg with corsairs now and then. Well I get 8 carriers and my ally tells me to send them to my new expansion. I do so, only to be greated 2 mins later with a drop by terran. Oops, carriers cleaned that up nicely. I then encountered wraiths... cors cleaned them up nicely.

Once my 8 carriers were joined by another 3, I was ordered to fininsh the zerg. i was also commanded to take my ally's main and pump zeals. I complied and nothing could stop me. I didn't even need web for all the gols I ran into. I also ran into a nice force of valks and gols. These actually didnt do too bad, but after losing 2-3 carriers to a MASS of terran forces, it became obvious... CARRIERS are just sooo cheezy. He tried wraiths, but observers+ cors tear them up. Oh well, I felt so dirty after that game, but the final scores made up for that. ;-)

Something like this:
Cold`as`Ice - 114000
Zerg - 46000
Terran - 43000
Killa - 9000


Notes:

Heh, even when I warn my ally that I won't be able to help... he always need me! ;-)

Carriers+ cors... need I say more

Defend expansions!!!!

No matter how many zeals, If you try to attack a choke with multiple tanks and bunkers... It is NOT cost effective!!!

Oh well... sorry for the cheezy report... but shows that if you are backed into a corner... break out the carriers!!! They have saved me a few times.
